Cloudy here to, I've not been out so can't comment on temperature!

Erm movement, ibgetvthe odd burst of movement that maybe goes in for 10 minutes, might get that a couple of times a day but there's no pattern really! Not sure if that's normal or not? Have has the off kick but mostly it's tickles and flutters.

Are you back full time now?

 

[MrsDuck]

That's good, I suppose its still early yet. It was foggy this morning but not a cloud in the sky now, a beautifully blue sky, the forecast is the same again for tomorrow. Yup more or less back full time now

Emily is still not feeling well, her temp hasn't spiked lately but is still elevated. She's fussier than normal and not sleeping well. I wish I could make her feel better. I took my parents to the airport just now and while its good to o back o " normal " I am really missing them!

[MrsDuck]

[Hippielove]

[CherylC3]

Sorry I cudnt as my waters were like a waterfall pouring out and it's the sheer panic to get to the hospital lol.. I hope maddies coming. Xx

 

[cupcake1981]

Lol Cheryl was only kidding.....I imagine its the last thing on your mind!

 

[baileybubs]

I told you guys I was in labour lol, but to be fair I actually had advanced warning as I was being induced lol!!
I wonder if Tawn is in labour? Hope it's all going well if she is!!!

Cheryl it is a bit like Groundhog Day isn't it? Like you said it will be nice once we can get out though. Has Leo started having periods of fussiness yet?

Amy aw I'm so sorry about Emily still being sick poor little mite! How are you holding up?

Mrs d I meant to ask you how your socialising went at the weekend. I didn't get chance to make the brownies today coz my friend came over and cooked me tea. Will definitely be making them tomorrow!

Cupcake did you manage to rest for the remainder of the day? Hope the back isn't giving you too much trouble!

Hippie I'm sorry you are afraid to test Hun I know it can be really daunting, especially after everything you have been through. Keep the faith though Hun, everything will work out ok

Afm my best friend came over to cook me tea which was lovely, we had chicken, white wine and tarragon pie from waitrose. I mentioned to my friend about how the hospital originally assessed emilia for Down syndrome. I don't know if I mentioned it to you guys but they assessed her based on how wide her eyes are apart. But they didn't actually tell me they assessed her or what they concluded, I just read it in her notes. They assessed that she was low risk of Down syndrome but I asked my midwife what this meant and she said that we could simply observe her progression or if we wanted we could have her screened. What do you ladies think? I don't know what the screening process involves though.

 

[cupcake1981]

Bailey you did keep us updated you were very good!

Have you googled the screening? It's probably bloods to check chromosomes?

 

[baileybubs]

When I google screening it just brings up the one they do in pregnancy. I would think its probably bloods though.
I'm almost 100% she hasn't got Down syndrome but I don't know whether I would want to confirm it just due to being more aware of the health issues that can be associated with with it.

 

[cupcake1981]

Have you talked to df about it? Did they have any other reason to suspect?

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah df says to wait and see how she gets on rather than distress her with screening and distress us with screening too. From what the midwife told me the doctors assessed there were no other signs except her eyes really. She has the palmer and plantar creases on hands and feet (lack of these is sometimes a sign) and her reflexes and muscle tone appear normal.
